Traxxas XRT VS Arrma Outcast 8s Round 2! 

How is that chassis not broken??!! Amazing and epic bash bro

I don’t know I gotta say this guy may be the best bash driver I’ve seen on RU-vid... period, like his gun game is butter smooth and entertaining

I know people love to fight about Arrma and Traxxas. I honestly don’t care 🤷🏼‍♂️ Is it good is all I care about. I do believe that all brands pay attention to the market and adjust upon others fails and wins, and even the aftermarket. RC companies have way more feedback on their products than any time in history. They watch as thousands of people take their products and make them better, or into something else entirely. No company started out making RC vehicles as capable as the consumer base made possible. They are out there doing the R&D no company could ever possibly accomplish on their own. The XRT is proof of it. It looks like an Arrma, yet set up like many aftermarket Arrma build, and you make it quite obvious they paid attention to the chassis. Thanks for the great video and thanks for being one of the people that make RC cars better 👍🏻

Not to be pedantic, but he really didn’t landed in the middle of the chassis. It was almost as far back as possible before hitting the wheels. Almost kind of like he hit it on the exact perfect spot for survivability. Edit: he does clarify exactly what I said later in the vid, I pulled the trigger a lil early, admit my wrong.

I can’t believe that it didn’t change your mesh at all!! That’s why l leave my stuff stockish!! You hit directly on the motor mount ! Monster

You killed it when the music was on. That freestyle, parkour flow. To the music too

Waiting on arms and shocks now for mine. Front passenger tire clipped a log. Kid driving on 50% throttle setting and trigger pulled maybe half way 😂 Don’t see me spending enough none to make the outcast durable but we’ll see. It’s very fun.

Ok so I was originally talking about the xrt but dude the outcast is just a different type of Animal. The outcast is still my favorite platform

i love both trucks, even though the outcast got the upgraded chassis its NOT BRAND NEW like the XRT during this bash!

Awesome comparison! The O8S looks so much more lively at the skate park and is quite cheaper'isch even with M2C Chassis that is needed. Thank for sharing with us! 😘😘

No f-----g way that xrt took that hit! Traxxas should be contacting you immediately to put that on their website! WTF I can't believe what I just saw! You messing with us Rocky! Lol

Great vid brother. That was a hard hit! And we MUST commend Momma Thunder for excellent camera slave skills HAHA! You gotta LOVE Momma Thunder Sister Julia. The XRT is a beast! Speed Syko showd and XRT killer the other day 100 bucks says the new arrma would have cracked inhalf on a hit like that! and the m2c aint holding up to hit like that its straight folding up to hit like that HAHAHA!

I like how yours been taking all these crazy hits then salamis bulk head blew out 3rd jump

That's why Traxxas uses plastic, some people hear all plastic and they think it's cheap but the plastic they use is actually stronger than metal sometimes, if that was an Arma with a metal chassis you would have bent the heck out of the chassis.

Nice , what motor esc gearing are you using , my o8s slow compared to 8th scale rigs

Both trucks are very durable. But it took a lot of money to make the O8S durable like that. Out of the box, the stock chassis would have been bent on the first jump. I love my Outcast 8s and EXB K8S, but they have cost me a lot of money to make them durable. Thanks for the video! I would still take the Xmaxx and XRT over the Arrma trucks because they are so much easier to upgrade and way less expensive to maintain.

Sick skills! any fluid changes yet?

For whoever sees this, the 8s outcast is available for 582$ shipped on eBay still which i think is a steal for a truck that competes with 1000$+ trucks. Also nice driving on the XRT, it seems like it backflips just fine with the proper driver 😂

Very impressed with that XRT for surviving the edge landing 💪 Also nice to hear Momma Thunder enjoying the show and capturing the action for us 🚀🚀🏎️💨

The buggy style chassis will always be susceptible to chassis over flex (unless it's titanium) the traxxas xmaxx style chassis has done well and stood the test of time. That said, I don't buy traxxas but I also don't bash so hard that I fold buggy style chassis, but I'm also a machinist so when its time to create a titanium chassis ill just machine one. As well where I run my rigs, 1/5 scale is just too big, ive had big rigs in the past and just can't find good places to run them. For the past few years I've been fine with my 1/8 scale mt 410. Zero complaints with my tekno stuff.

So in your opinion you think the stock xrt chassis is stronger than the m2c chassis? Or just because it's a lighter truck to begin with

After seeing 4:35, we need a how to video for tricks dude!

Nice video bud. It really shows that you stepped up the quality of your videos. Keep em coming my friend.

Outcast for the win. Rocky sayin' he is taking it easy on the XRT...didn't know that was even possible for you. Full send all the time....

4:36 might been my favorite flip ever !! And my Xmaxx bent the shit out my center drive when I hit a skate park like that !! Good shit great driving !!

Man so many mixed reviews on this truck best thing to do is wait till the hype wears down to get any rc and let time tell still like the sound of a metal chassis!

Shoutout to your photographer!!! Awesome Awesome Job. Hope to have both of these Monsters by Christmas!

Thunder slapped lol glad to see someone beat on that xrt can't believe it survived 👏

How the hell was there no damage I’m sold buying one !!

WICKED BROTHER!! 😮that XRT chassis wack was insane that it took that! Definitely next rig I’m getting! My sledge is completely m2c’d beefcaked MAX6-1650! Love it! Your vids are in the BashKing category with all them !!

You should check the center driveline on the XRT. It's hard to believe that nothing got tweaked inside.

Nice bashing. Wish I had the time to be out more often. I'm really looking at this XRT but I've never been a Traxxas fan. Even when the T-Maxx came out I got the Savage lol. Seems like Traxxas fan boys stay loyal and all others have a mixed bag of brands. I admit, I have 3 Slashes for my boys but that's only because the HPI Blitz wasn't available lol.

Aldo Loyal didnt land his that hard and it broke the truck in half. That was a lucky hit thunder.

First double with the XRT on youtube. Great drivin' man. Love Your content.

Sweet those things are so tough! I gotta get me one of these either brand. Both would be better though!

These videos are amazing. Everything. 🙌🏾🙌🏾

Best both

Very nice skate park and landings :-) XRT survives a lot, including this one on the edge. This Sledmaxx called XRT looks one of the most durable Traxxas trucks out of the box. Its shame that Traxxas does not sell any rollers. XRT for half price as a roller would be a bestseller, put there any older or own electronic from some older truck...

Hey Rocky⚡ great this new spot 👍 Driving ninja with your 2 RCs was amazing 💪⚡⚡⚡Sacred slap with the XRT and nothing is abused! This but happened with my XMAXX and after 3 attempts essential damage! Central ski chipped, twisted transmission tube and pinion crown out of order! But on the XRT the mounting of the rear bulkhead includes the fixing of the engine so the between teeth has less risk of moving I think I know an improvement compared to the Xmaxx. Keep pounding it dude until it breaks let's know the weak points but so far this truck is awesome out of the box 💪👍 it was great to have you guys marooned with it your mother 🤩🙏🤘

You just made my choice even harder of what 8S im goiing to get! The flow of the 8S, and the durability of the XRT, holy moly! Do more skatepark videos plx :) Loved it

That XRT taking the hit on the chassis, crazy. I can’t believe the plastic holds up the way it does. On a tie breaker, winner goes to the veteran bashed Outcast. XRT was out of the box fresh vs a veteran Outcast with some serious bashing under its belt. Great videos, you make stunts look way too easy.

Another awesome head to head SmackDown bash Rocky! It's awesome Mama thunder is enjoying herself out there too! The XRT metal lip smacker was brutal but somehow survived it like a champ!! Awesome upload brother 👍

What shock weight oil do you run in your shocks for these jumps?

Stunned the xrt didn’t split or even bend driveshaft to rattle point 😮 outcast rocked the park🤘 thanks for the entertainment and risking the new rig at the park 🤙

I was gonna get the xmaxx but now I’m going XRT….🔥 Great Vid!

Suuuper smooth driving dude! Respect!

Great video man. Here is my question do you think the XRT would've survived if you bashed it just as hard as you did the ARRMA?

Keep Rockin Rocky

Round 2 🔥 Let's GOOOO 👍🏻

Thunder rc is the American Kevin Talbot 😂

Do one with the Kraton 8s and the new Traxxas. I would love to show my buddy that the Kraton is no joke as well. I enjoy your videos 💯💪🏼

That was a fun video to watch! What a gorgeous skatepark! Looks brand new! No graffiti🤣

Well brother you showed the people who do not believe in the durability of the XRT , that it take some SICK punishment, wich me personaly never doubted on. Awsome satepark bash 🥰

Nice video I got a idea when you were going backwards with the outcast let's see you pull off a reverse backflip that would be epic and a first on RU-vid I have done it and I'm sure you can also you have the skills and then a reverse front flip that's the challenge I will be watching👍

Absolutely loved this video, very Fair comparison and hard bashing feedback on these two Beasts, after the XRT got done I was like, "No way the Outcast is gonna outdo that"..... Old Outcast kicked that a#& bro no doubt at all, 100% the xrt took a hit that would have killed any big RC, that was impressive, but the Outcast clearly handled better and that was not just you pushing the Outcast more.... Even Momma agreed. Both did amazing, in a perfect world get both, but the Outcast SHOULD do better here as it's a stunt truck.. Maybe not for durability in the Skatepark.... And honestly I'm surprised that bulkhead exploded yesterday, maybe it was already weak? But regardless this new XRT is a FORCE 😍😍 GREAT UNBIASED VIDEO, that's how you Do it! 🙌💪

Great video. I think these kind of setting is the best way to have good controls in comparing cars. You got my sub.

Nice driving !

Great video Rocky!! You rocked both of them out there today!! Pulling doubles with the XRT was very impressive!!! Most of the vids I've seen ppl have barely done 1 back flip. But that chassis slap on the coping was insane!! I still think the O8S took the win today . 😉💯💯

I’m thinking at least a bent driveshaft! But nothing! Very impressive! The outcast is always a blast to watch!👍👍😎✌️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️💥💥

Loving the Skate Park sesh! I'd have either if those trucks. (If my wife would let me spend that kind of money lol). Think I'll go for the new outcast 4s 👍👍👍

I'm shocked that didn't hit didn't do any damage to the xrt. I did think that orange glove was a lipo fire at first though 😂😂 awesome stuff dude! 🤘🤙😎

ilike traxxas maxx v2🎉🎉

Amazing session bro! Gotta be a draw. Like everyone I can’t believe the XRT took that chassis hit👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻 Great driving man as always🚀🚀👍🏻👍🏻

EPIC bash bro, how in the world did the XRT survive that hit😂. Massive fan man, best rc channel💪💪

You are an absolute master rc operator bro! You pull the sickest stunts!!!

Another great video bro

Arrma 6s rigs M2C beefcakes are my choice. No 8s for me.😂 Absolutely beautiful skills!

Love your videos man keep them coming....

I can’t believe the hit the XRT took, unreal it drove away from that with no damage.

Great video, great driving skills, great entertainment. Top job. John

You’re going down arrma out cast

Nice bash man I’d definitely have to give it to the outcast 8s you drove that truck harder than the xrt. You’ve literally beaten the heck out of that truck and it still keeps going!

2:26 can we get a description as to what your weather is like? Because it’s 6 degrees where I live and that would have exploded at my skatepark 😂 Awesome videos my guy!! Keep them up!!!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽

Great video! XRT looks really good. Outcast still living up to being a great truck. Traxxas are great when you keep them stock power/weight. If you plan on upgrading power plant have to go with Arrma, the internals just handle the power without issue. Breaking a plastic piece is what it is, but gears breaking is so frustrating. Gonna have to give traxxas another go here with that xrt. Looks awesome!

I'm a Arrma guy all day but in this case I'd go with the Traxxas!

Omg the outcast flying!!!!

Too great trucks I like that XRT 🤤

Love your channel 👍🏼

Nice looking flips very satisfied with both cars

slo-mo the shot at 04:34 perfectly executed flare never seen rc do that

Arrma for the win today ⭐️💥💥⭐️💥💥

Man dude super entertaining and even more so informative. Awesome driving skills like always but wow that center slap that's always been a killer every time I've seen a landing like that somethings broken or more than 1 thing. You are a very skilled very honest in my opinion guy who gives us all a chance to see before we buy, and for me anyways that's super helpful. Thanks I'll definitely be watching

that's probably one of my favorite skate parks to drive my cars at. So fare i haven't broken anything there.

that landing with the XRT sold me...

Oh and my brother, I just wanted to give you a bit of a friendly reprimand hermano to hermano that you kind of ripped the outcast an undeserved hole last time when it broke on a very simple jump... after you have beat the crap out of that thing for so long that what screw could possibly not have backed out over the amount of abuse you've put it through? It would have to be something glued in there with an epoxy weld. It broke last video on such a small miniscule landing that there's no way it was a durability test. So a bit of shame shame on the thunder for being so quick to turn your back on the car you once said was your favorite 😉 😜 No doubt everything else about your assessment is totally fair though! And certainly not taking a single shred of the well-deserved impressive performance from the XRT! But I think you can't just marry a girl (truck), get her pregnant (airborne) repeatedly, make 5 great kids (backlips) together, then dump on her because she's gained a little weight in the rear end (bulkhead) this Christmas! 🤣 Rock on thunder! you deliver the best content!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥

Poor Kevin, you beat him to all the things we wanted to see in this truck😅, while he waits another 2 weeks to recieve his truck. You handle those trucks well in the skate park.

Ty for an unbiased vid. Great footage.completely agree.

Let take some time and give this man a hell ya, for the badass session and insane air control you have 💯🔥

They’re both nice. I have had lots of cars from almost every brand and traxxas is the best. I like associated to. Tamiya has some epic designed cars also.

What software do you use to add overlays to your thumbnails? I need to figure that out quick. Thanks.

Keep up the. Good. Work.

Holy hell I thought for sure That’d be a broken chassis!!

Awesome!! vid you're lucky to have both beast in the arsenal!!!👊🏾✊🏾

I like the radical look of ARRMA just not the amount of money it takes to make it an XRT

👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍 Awesome

Dude, that slam was sick. Really great content, as always Rocky.

Great job bro!! I really enjoy your videos 👍🏼

🏆⚡️👏😱YOU SLAYED THE EVER LIVING CRUMBS OUT OF THAT SKATE PARK! With an outcast 8s? Wow! Your insane! Bravo to you and the unknown epic camera Lady! 🤣 E🥲Completely Mental THUNDER!⚡️🌪️FIRE ALL DAY!⚡️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Your vids are the best I so wish I could make my Rc do the things you make yours do!

After that crazy landing you were looking for damage but the damage was like John cena
